Martin Dahlin was good centre forward who could play as target man in box but also making dummy runs and good last pass to his teammates. Martin was very strong and bulky, fast and confident with excellent heading abilities and strong shot. But he was limited technically. Dahlin is a very strong player; the Süddeutsche Zeitung even spoke of "corpulence" to describe his appearance, which he throws into play ("he pushes, pushes, pinches and tears his way through the middle"). A sophisticated technique is not necessarily Dahlin's strength (he shares this assessment himself), but he can shield the ball from his opponent and assert himself even in the tightest of spaces. In addition, he is fast, has a strong header, is always ready to play. Very skilful in aerial play and efficient in front of goal, he's planted more than ten goals in each of his four full seasons in the Ruhr area. Martin Dahlin first made the heyday of Malmö, where he made his debut and was crowned top scorer in the championship in 1988, and Borussia Mönchengladbach before distinguishing himself particularly with the selection. national. The 29 goals in 60 appearances of the striker allowed Sweden to reach the semi-finals of Euro 1992, then the 1994 World Cup.
